Portland, ME - The Eastern League is pleased to announce that Reading Phillies
right-handed starting pitcher Trevor May has been selected as the Eastern League
Player of the Month for the month of April. Trevor, who entered the season ranked
by Baseball America as the top prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies organization,
had a record of 5-0 with 33 strikeouts, eight walks and a 2.40 ERA over 30 innings
of work while making five starts in the month of April. The 22-year old made
his Double-A debut at FirstEnergy Stadium on April 6th against Portland and
allowed four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six over
five innings to earn the win in the R-Phils 9-4 victory. Trevor went on to make
four more starts during April and gave up two earned runs or less while striking
out six batters or more in each of those four games. May, who is a native of
Kelso, Washington, was especially impressive in his start against the Richmond
Flying Squirrels on April 25th at First Energy Stadium. The only hit he allowed
over six shutout innings was a fifth-inning single and he struck out seven batters
and walked two while earning the win in a 1-0 Reading victory.

The 6'5", 215 lb. hurler led all Eastern League pitchers in wins (5) and strikeouts
(33) during the month of April. He also finished the month ranked among the
league leaders in WHIP (0.97-tied 3rd), innings pitched (30-tied 5th) and batting
average against (.196-7th) while becoming the first Eastern League pitcher to
end the month of April with a record of 5-0 since Chris Waters of the Bowie
Baysox did so during the 2008 season.

Trevor, who was selected as a Florida State League All-Star last season after
posting a record of 10-8 with a league-high 208 strikeouts and a 3.63 ERA in
27 starts with the Class-A Clearwater Threshers, was selected by the Philadelphia
Phillies in the fourth round of the 2008 draft out of Kelso High School in Washington.
